Step
Method
Take ghee and shifted flour in a large bowl and mix them well. Soak saffron
in 3/4 cup warm milk
Add saffron milk
to it slowly and keep mixing softly till nice and fluffy in texture.
Now add water to
it gradually and make lump free thin batter.
Heat oil in a
cylinder like vessel, (I used here Fry Pan) keep the flame to medium high.
Pour batter
slowly you will see the batter starts scattering and collects near the sides in
the circular shape.Use skewer to detach the batter
Once it fried
take it away using skewer.Keep it in tissue paper to absorb oil.
For preparing
sugar syrup take one and half cup sugar and one cup water in a pan.Bring
them to boil with occasional stirring.Slowly heat it in low flame to 5 -
10 minutes to get string consistency.
Then dip the
ghevar in the syrup. Don't dip for long time.
For Kesar
Rabdi :
Apply little
ghee in a sauce pan, add and heat milk in low flame.Get the milk reduced,
add cardamom powder, few saffron strands,crushed pistachios and mix them
well.Then add sweetened condensed milk and stir it constantly.After you get
thick consistency switch off the stove.
Top the Ghevar
with Rabdi when you ready to serve.
Delicious Ghewar
is ready to serve.
